Get ready for some more inside the cablesphere fighting...with
David Letterman possibly playing a starring
role.

Rachel Maddow was on Letterman last night and
naturally the talk turned to the differences between Fox News and
MSNBC.

Said Maddow: "I of course think they are much more true than Fox
is true. The problem that is reasonable to assert about Fox
and its coverage is that they make up stories for their own
purpose."

And: "That whole network is run, as a political operation to
elect candidates. To fundraise for causes. To have
rallies against Democratic ideas and politicians and there's just
nothing like that on the left."

Maddow has made no secret in the past about her disdain for the
network. At various points she has
accused them of employing the old 'scare white people' tactic
in their coverage of Shirley Sherrod and ACORN. And
further excoriated their "bogus" coverage of ACORN.

Said Letterman: "These guys have a high threshold of
embarrassment and never consider apologizing getting things right
and wrong."
